10,000 attend Perkasa assembly

Big Dog reports on his blog that while Dr M is confident that Najib will bring transformation, especially to the Malays, the PM needs to provide more space for the aspirations of the Malays and Umno grassroots to be heard.

At the risk of being accused of trying to compare my intellect to the great statesman's, at a closed-door briefing on the New Economic Model last night I said there's need for the authors of the NEM to stress in their analytic that the new model is premised on the successes of previous policies, especially the NEP and the National Development Policy. Without the socio-economic progress achieved under the NEP and NDP, it would have been impossible for Malaysia to now dream of joining the elite few that are today known as high-income economies.

Original take:

Serious turnout. According to Parpu, some 10,000 people attended the Perkasa assembly at the PWTC in KL today. Looks like Ibrahim Ali's seriously trying to give Umno a run for its money as champions of the Malays.

Click here to see the pictures and live reporting from PWTC, which happens to be Umno's headquarters. Dr M, the VIP, is an Umno member.

Perkasa wasn't born yesterday. It was created by a group of Malay NGOs in response to what they saw as a threat to the special privileges of the Malays and the Bumiputeras as enshrined in the Constitution.Revisit Mahathir's address last year here.

A good turnout is a good start. There are significant numbers out there who didn't make it to the venue. The initial figures of thousands is impressive enough to gather more strength for future gathering. Non malays should not feel threaten by Perkasa. Our target is the well being of the malays not the downfall of others.

Perkasa backs the government of the day so long as the needs of the malays are well protected. I believe,the right of the non malays will not be deprived as what they are enjoying today. A little sense of respect, tolerance and practical understanding of each others needcan make this country a better place for all.

Whether its 10,000 or 2,000, at least Perkasa is doing something to shake you all up enough for you to write in and comment about it. That's only 10,000 people who wants to be seen. What about the rest of us behind the scenes waiting at the sidelines, watching and waiting, quietly biding our time. Have you thought of that? Let's not play around with figures. The real truth will shock you.

Huh?!? Shiok Guy, what is your impediment? Your brain stuck ka? In mathematics, we can choose to round up or round down, though habitually most of the time we round down, however under special circumstance, we have the right to round “it” up. Don’t believe me, ask any accountant and statistician.

Btw, don’t show all the numbering in your comment in future, it is damn confused and complicated.

I have to agree witht he first commenter...from just that one pic, I counted out the rows and chairs..Its like 22 chairs in each row,and there are about 20 rows (from the pic) in each column.. (only to be seen in the pic, dunno if there is further extension).Then I could see 5 columns of these rows..

so it is like (22*20)*5=2,200

One more dude tweeting live from twitter, claimed der r about 3-4K..

Just wanna know, what is the actual capacity of the hall?Can it actually accomodate 10k?

As the saying goes "teach someone to fish then they can sustain. Giving out freebies and handouts just creates a subsistence mentality".All I hear from Ibrahim Ali are complaints and conspiracy theories about the Chinese.What we want to hear are serious and long term solutions. The NEP did not succeed because it only enriched a few Malays - and created a large pool of Ali Babas.Malays who have migrated overseas have shown that they can compete globally if given a global education.Ibrahim Ali seems to be someone who is more concerned about his own welfare than Malays in general.As for Tun - it was under him that most of the Chinese Towkays prospered and only key UMNOputras kept the large pieces of the pie.

Perkasa is the vehicle for Ibrahim Ali to rejuvenate his political career and to champion his personal interest.When he left Umno together with KU LI to form SEMANGAT 46, HE CRITICISE Tun M and the BN govt.After disagreement with KU LI,he "LOMPAT MACAM KATAK" back to Umno.Subsequently, he has problem with Umno Kelantan and was ousted as Ketua Bahagian Pasir Mas.Immediately,he LOMPAT from Umno and Tok Guru was stupid to give him permission to fight the Pasir Mas Parliament seat under the PAS ticket.Now,he has problem with PAS and his intention is ti rejoin Umno through his activities in Perkasa.ON record this man has NEVER contribute anything towards nation buliding and like all KATAK YANG MERUPAKAN LOMPAT EXPERT,Ibrahim Ali main aim is to rejuvenate his political and personal ambition.

Look at the most successful race is the surface of this world and non of them speak like this racist Melayu. Ibrahim Ali does not have any idea where went wrong with the race and he is pulling in the No 1 racist who wasted 22 years of this country, if being a PM for 22 years and you can't change the thinking of your people this speak little of his ability.

Anwar Ibrahim can fill out a whole stadium -- excess of 10,000, easily. Doesn't even need a special occasion like this.

Just saw The Economist and other international papers, they say Anwar is the most famous Malaysian personality out there nowadays...

We cannot let Anwar stay at the top!!!

I think our supreme leader Mahathir must do something to be at the top again.

I agree that Home Minister should not let Barry Wain's book enter the country. We cannot let it destroy Mahathir's reputation anymore. We must wait until the general elections first. If not, people will know about what he and UMNO did and then we will lose our fight.

Hitler too, when he started his Nazi Party, had such a huge following. In fact right up to his death and the defeat of Germany he could easily muster millions. I am sure Perkasa would love to emulate Hitler in his achievements as well.

And by the Bru, you buy the 10,000 figure? When that hall was meant to accommodate only about 3,500, if 10,000 had gone in, do you know that the Insurance company would not have paid a cent if the building had collapsed or if at the time there was a fire and people had died from it?

And we accused MSM for exaggerating the figures pula. I guess after the recent PRess Club Joseph Goebbels Awards now the bloggers too are permitted to exaggerate figures? For 10,000 to be there the majority would have had to mull outside teh hall. Did not read of any such thing happening.

A-get-together exclusively for warga-warga tua & orang-orang nyanyuk..if Ibrahim Ali really sincere in looking after Malay interest he should have first join his Kelantanese fella in winning over oil royalty battle againts the federal govt. Otherwise just another cause for his political survival.

I must assert this point here...While everyone still gauging if PERKASA is popular or not?It does not matter...YES!! It is extremist..But I want it to be there and thriving as long as the Other Extremist spectrum does not die down.. Namely DAP and HINDRAF!!

I may not be rooting for PERKASA openly, and even condemn them to others, but behind the scenes, I want them to carry on.. YES..and there are many like me..

PERKASA is blunt, harsh and outright racist... Well just like HINDRAF and DAP..So it has spung out as a direct response to these TWO hooligan organisations that have been spreading scum in this society since the past few years..

Lol'ed at some of the commentators here, they tried very hard to prove that the attendees were actually less than 10K, you know, counting the seats, row and everything, some of them even managed to visualized that the few front rows were vacant!

Is Ibrahim Ali serious about 67% wealth for Melayu race? I don't think so, he is only kidding & fooling on his own race.

Here are some of helping points that you need to know and do so that your race can achieve 67% wealth.

1. Give up your dream of having 4 wives, having more wives only making you spend more and lost your wealth.

2. Know what is opportunity cost. 10,000 Melayu attending Perkasa assembly on a Saturday is wasting a lot of time, this 10,000 Melayu could work on a Saturday and if every one earn to a tune of RM100 than the community would have lost RM1 million. Remember the non-Melayu wealth grow by that amount when 10,000 Melayu attending the assembly.

3. Invest in a good education for your kids. Good education will enable you to stand tall in all 4 corners of the earth, not just tall in your Kampung like Ibrahim Ali. If Malaysia is rich, the world is a thousand time richer so the opportunity is the greatest when you know how to earn foreign dollars.

4. Don't spend too much time on religious maters because it generally doesn't help you to earn more. Actually Allah do not help those who doesn't help themselves

5. Work extra hours, avoid holidays as holidays can be the best time to earn even more money.

6. Don't sell off the shares that government offer you, keep them as normally shares will appreciate in value over time. Selling it off will eventually ended up in the hand of non-Melayu and that was a reason why NEP failed.

7. Invest in property as it is the best way to hold wealth, over time property will increase in value. So it came back to hunt you if you have a habit of spending and not saving as the more you spend the less you can invest.

8. You do not expect the non-Melayu to sit under a coconut tree to wait for your wealth to reach their level so during this period non-Melayu will also increase their wealth and the only way for you is to work extra hard, don't give up and don't stop working until the day you accumulate enough wealth like non-Melayu. So no more wasting a Saturday attending an assembly ever again.

9. Don't depend on Government because the population of Melayu is getting bigger and bigger, they are only there to help a few Melayu to get rich. They can't make every Melayu equally rich so don't ask what the Government can give you, ask what you can give to your country.

10. Don't give fish to your children, teach them how to fish. You have lost 53 years under UMNO so you have a lot to catch up, really you must not waste anymore time.

So the day you know your race has achieved 67% wealth is the day when your race is contributing 67% tax to the country.

You were missing in action cos i didn't see you. I was there with my very old comrades Tan Sri Abdullah Ahmad and also Datuk Idris Tulis at the Perkasa launch by mantan Tun Mahathir. Surprising there were many notable UMNO present and past leaders, includiing some UMNO warlords, wanita and puteri were there to support the launch. They came from all over the country, though Ibrahim Ali must have gathered bus loads of his Kelantanese supporters.

Tun Mahathir's presence together with Tun Siti Hasmah and Mukhriz caught the eyes of at least 10,000 audience added up to the aura and excitement of the launch, in order to remind us that "bangsa Melayu" is still a force to be rekoned with as the nation move forward to be a developed country by 2020.

As one of the invited audience among the front liners, I am now more convinced of the powerful Perkasa movement nationwide under the dynamic leadership of Ibrahim to spearhead our national agenda, as an alternative force to UMNO. Perkasa has the legitimate right to be a Malay based NGO, though it certainly is not to be construed as another political power in the making.

Perkasa's agenda is to neutralize all forms of extremism, but at the same time provides a check and balance to the government in power. If for the last 50 years,other political parties could pursue and protect their community interest, there is no reason why Perkasa's movement is under suspicious, especially by the other non Malay communities.

I certainly share with Tun Mahathir's advice that Perkasa's noble vision to protect and uplift the Malays, should not be too extremist in their agenda that may damage our national resiliance to live as one nation in harmony.

Having said that, I opined that the opening remarks by Ibrahim Ali, the elected Perkasa President was not only relevant to the struggles of the Malays and bumiputra, but at the same time served as a direct warning to the other opposition parties, notably DAP and PAS to be pragmatic in their political approach and agenda.

However, Ibrahim being an ex UMNO stalwart and now a prominent independent MP did not mince his words, when he blasted at DAP's "Malaysian Malayia" slogan that had failed to capture the heart and minds of the people. Being a true nationalist and supporter of the BN government, I would have hope that my old friend Ibrahim could have elaborated on the 1Malaysia initiative, which is now being politically exploited by anwar to camouflage his desire to overthrow Najib's leadership and an impressive administration.

Like many others who had supported and contributed to the development of this wonderful nation, I believe that if anwar in his past attempts couldn't overthrow Mahathir and Pak Lah's leadership and government, how could he ever dream to derail the powerful leadership of Najib Tun Razak, who is another Malaysian leadership icon after Tun Mahathir!

Anwar and PKR is in a political limbo now and even God is on BN's favour when he took away the precious life of the late PKR MP Zainal of Ulu Selangor last Friday.The late Zainal that I had known was a light hearted grassroot UMNO politician, who had inspired to be the BN Menteri Besar instead of Khir Toyo.We knew that Zainal had left UMNO not because of he didn't love the party, but he was pissed off by some of the UMNO warlords in Selangor.

Zainal's departure is now history and we now look forward to recapture Ulu Selangor, with the best BN candidate but not necessary Palanivel from MIC. My advice to Samy Velu is that he shouldn't have pre-empted BN's choice within the hour's of Zainal's death.Don't haggle over the candidate issue and let Najib as the BN's leader be given the final mandate and choice.

You still have the title of 10,000 at the Perkosong assembly, when it was just over 2,000!! You shoud not allow the "over enthusistic" but naive Parpukari to mislead you and others.

As for Dr.M's speech about countering allegations that the Malays had stolen the country's wealth, my response is, Huh? When did anyone make these allegations other than against the Umoputeras who cornered the NEP (which Dr.M oversaw for 22 years) to the detriment of their brethren Malays?

This is the kind of thing this senile and racist old man has a short memory of. It seems to me Dr.M's real agenda is to drum up support for his son and lay the founadtion for a family dy-nasty!! Dr.M's has miserably failed to appreciate why the Sultan of Selangor would not associate himself with Perkosong. You can't have an inclusive M'sia "..more honoured in the breach than in the observance!! (Shakespeare)"

As for IA who seems keen to create a Klu Kux Klan/Pauline Hanson's 1 Nation/ Hitlers' Blue Eyed & Blonde Nazi Jackbooted Stormtroopers, I can only say history is not with him and that he will fail miserably!!

What a circus! Wahahahahaha.. if this is what the Malays have chosen to represent them, the race is more than doomed! finish! habis! tamat! THE END! without the "and they live happily ever after..."

Sometimes, I pity these people.. they are so not in touch with what is happening around them and the world. They are so cocoon! They reminded me of the people in China during the pre-communist era.. So guillable and in denial.. and when the communist came into power and smack them to reality, these people had to wake up to reality the hard way. How so many spirit was broken, so many souls stolen. That is what is gonna to happen to the Malays.

The Malays can shout slogan and claim supermacy here or even in public but that is not going to change the fact that they cannot survive a day without their clutches.. They cannot even gasp the simple logic that one has to work hard, sweat and blood to make it.. It is very sad. Simply pathetically sad.

As for the other races, the chinese are versatile.. they have survived thousands of years of hardships and unfairness and they grew from strength to strength. The other races can go else where and yet make it big. As for the malays, where can they go? Without the Chinese, what economy are we talking about? It is sad but true!

So, I would like to say.. DREAM ON BOYS.. man are made of dreams and I sincerely hope that dream is not going to turn into a nightmare!

Dear YM Datuk Rocky,Well actually I don't see any harm with Perkasa, and whether 10,000 or 4,000 turned up, to me its okay either way. There are those who are pro Perkasa and there are those who are anti Perkasa. Whatever the case the ideals seem good, the implementation of said ideals is rather suspect.

However, I need to understand is Perkasa being hijacked by Parpukari for his own agenda? Is Perkasa being hijacked by T.Dr. Mahathir for his own agenda? These are questions that should be answered.

I would rather Perkasa be hijacked by T.Dr. Mahathir than by Parpu, given a choice.

Kerajaan sediakan clutches BECAUSE it wants to help its own people to survive in ITS VERY OWN land.

Surely it will be heartbreaking to see its VERY OWN citizen having to hide in cargo boxes or sneaking off in Tongkangs, snatched or hoodwinked by other FOREIGN powers to be made slaves and coolies, to other FOREIGN lands just for a bowl of rice?

Sedihkan?

Generations after generations will be haunted having nighmares, cabut or dihalau from own country and "your" government just don't bother to even offer you a tongkat!

Perkasa all the way!Piss off the racist malay-haters ha!ha!Give the malays everything and give them nothing.Call it a crutch or what other we don't care.Just give.Cause if they don't like it,it MUST BE RIGHT!

and aku sokong perkasa kalau depa mempertahankan ape yg tertulis dlm constitution, percayalah rakan2, klu generasi melayu masa kini keeps up their pace, its a matter of time until the playing field is ours.

Masalahnye kadang2 kita tk yakin dgn kemampuan kita, but even with that said i still want my constitutional rights as a bumiputra, and i just cant stand it when some chinese bastard says that we are taking it for granted, budak2 cina zaman skang pun malas, buktinye bersepah je aku tgk yg dok lepak kt starbucks atau mana2 tempat lepak kt KL pretending rich

People attend Perkasa not because of Ibrahim Ali neither am Perkasa it self. It' due to Dr M . Anyway, Malasy need Peraksa the same as Chinese need Dong Zao and Indian needs Hindraf. Ask ourselves where are we heading from now on. One of the question to ask now is :-1. Will Perkasa follow the way Dong Zoa and Hindraft acted.2. Will Perkasa act on their own unique way3. Will Perkasa vanished in thin air after hangat hangat tahi ayam or mat jenin.4.Will Perkasa be able to change the Malay mind set just to compliment DR M acknowledement of failing to change the Malays mindset?5. Will Ibrahim Ali abandon ship again after all the hura hura.

Dato', Notwithstanding the condescending comments and sarcastic advise of many sons of pendatangs who probably spent too much time in vernicular schools and never mix with real Malays at work who have made it on their own and without crutches too, who have made it good in MALAYsia, the arguments about the numbers of attendees at the Perkasa assembly or whether Parpukari have hijacked Perkasa or what not.

I do believe that Perkasa is a good idea and does not mean to harm anybody in this country but seeks only to ensure that Malay and Bumi Rights under the Constitution are upheld, its never about taking away what others already have but seeks to ensure that everybody have a share of the cake, hell everybody else have their clan association, Suqiu, Dong Zong, Hindraf, the DAP,MCA,MIC, Gerakan which takes care of specific minority interest, another NGO like Perkasa is only good for democracy, Malaysia is after all a democracy isn't it where the majority should rule with minority interest being taken care by the majority.

Malaysia for 53 years has shown that it is a democracy which has taken care of its minority very well and the minority as a whole has prospered much beyond the wildest dream of many who came to Malaysia to start a new life.

If Chinese are so versatile, then why are there so many Chinatowns in the world? Without your own race to help you, you die ...so don't be a hypocrite lah ....

We, the Malays, we don't have any Malaytown in the world....We survive on our own, with our two feet anywhere in the world unlike you guys.....Must always stay together, polarise together, that is why you bunnie shit has this type of shitty mentality. Versatile, my foot...

Doesn't matter, leh. When the foreign investors come asking the hard questions, expect Perkasa and the Organization of Former Umno Elected Representatives and their agendas to be quietly consigned to the sidelines, no matter how much Dr Mahathir may emote and fulminate.

Because the PM ain't about to let anyone or any group stand in the way of remaking the Malaysian economy, even if it means inking FTAs with the likes of India, the EU and the TPP.

And if Ibrahim Ali and Tan Sri Adam Kadir haven't grasped this by now, then more fools they.

Now, if you want a laugh, read Mukhriz Mahathir's comments in an interview with the Spore Straits Times that was published March 27. Even the headline the ST chose was risible - "Pro-Malay policy not to blame, says Mukhriz".

He even had the gall to talk about "brutal competition". Hey, Mukhriz - competition in a globalised world for investments and talent is brutal. I am surprised that as Deputy International Trade & Industry Minister, you have not grasped this fundamental fact.

If you have any doubts on this score, you can always go consult a certain Rafidah Aziz......

Yawn...Once your veins flow with a whore's blood mingled with that of an opium addict, triad gangsta, pimp, gambling cheat, counterfeiter (all rolled into one) then there is no hope for the future generations except to spend their days casting slurs and racial epithets on their hosts who rescued them from the tongkangs.

But then again if you can LIE about your ancient history (and run away like a pondan), culture etc and fuck ur mother in the process, I think it is alright by their superior moral standards to have a cheapskate go at the indigenous race. But then again, the MCA results says a lot of them doesnt it...hahahaha.

100,000 Malays attendant but 99% of the total wealth is concentrated in one family who has a billionaire and that is the family of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

I am sure Tun Dr Mahathir will be happy if his son is able to continue to accumulate wealth so that one day his family and that of Tun Daim plus the brother of Najib alone can represent close to 67% of the country wealth. So will it not be the Malays are as rich as the non-Malays one day?

Where is that poor fellow? One day he was the greatest, most powerful man on the earth, and now you will only hear about him the day he dies, and that too will be on the third, fourth page of the newspapers in a small column. What happens to these powerful people? When they lose people's attention, their personality starts disappearing. I have known many political leaders in this country. Perhaps this country has more ex-ministers, chief ministers, governors than any other country. Once they become "ex" they are finished.

Then nobody pays any attention to them, nobody asks them to inaugurate bridges, railway lines, hospitals, schools. No paper even bothers where they are, whether they are alive or dead. And there was a time when they were in the newspapers every day, on the radios, on television. It is not only your problem, that you are a beggar for attention; it is a human reality. And the reason is that you depend on your personality -- which is false, which has been created by the society, and which can be taken away by society. Don't depend on it. It is not in your power.

10,000 mentally, physically, and spiritually retarded victims, just like the owner of this UMNO-paid off blogsite, turning up for more hand outs. The rest of the world will move on while these retarded rabies infected morons will continue to keep their hands outstretched for handouts till the day the country has nothing left to give. Then total darkness and mayhem will descend on this country. When will we ever learn and accept the truth? Never. Never as long as there are retards like Rocky Bru who continues to wake up every morning & looks at himself in the mirror and is happy with what he sees even though he has sold his soul away. How do the Malays hold their heads up high anymore when even their cousins in Indonesia think shit of them today. This is how far behind the Malays have fallen behind from the rest of the real world out there.
